  2. 16. A Molecular Approach for Investigation of the Prevalence and Neurotoxin Formation of Clostridium botulinum in Food Safety Assessment

    Author : Maria Lövenklev; Teknisk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; neurotoxin gene expression; neurotoxin; food safety assessment; food preservation; Clostridium botulinum; enrichment PCR; Food and drink technology; qRT-PCR; Livsmedelsteknik; prevalence;

    Abstract : In the development of new food products, more knowledge is needed about the occurrence and quantity of food-borne pathogens in the food chain to be able to implement effective control measures and assure food safety. In addition, improved understanding of how environmental factors and food preservatives effect the microbial virulence expression in foods will enable the formulation of new strategies for food preservation and risk assessment.

  4. 17. Biofilms and microbial barriers in drinking water treatment and distribution

    Author : Jonas Långmark; Gunnar Jacks; Jean Claude Block; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Microbiology; Mikrobiologi; Microbiology; Mikrobiologi;

    Abstract : The primary objective of conventional drinking water treatment and distribution is to deliver to the consumer water that is both aesthetically pleasing and does not constitute a human health risk. To achieve this, water utilities employ a range of physical (i.e. sand and membrane filtration) and chemical (i. READ MORE

  5. 18. Hazard assessment of ciprofloxacin, sulfamethoxazole and triclosan for marine periphyton : Ecotoxicology, Pollution Induced Community Tolerance and Co-Tolerance

    Author : Henrik Johansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ecotoxicology; Antibioitcs; Antimicrobial agents; Ciprofloxacin; Sulfamethoxazole; Triclosan; Community ecotoxicology; Periphyton; Toxicant-induced succession; Pollution-Induced Community Tolerance PICT ;

    Abstract : Antibiotics and personal care products are used in large quantities and commonly detected in various environmental compartments. The two antibiotics, ciprofloxacin and sulfamethoxazole, and the personal care product triclosan are among the most commonly detected compounds in sewage treatment plants and aquatic environments.

  6. 19. Foodborne bacteria in the Cambodian meat value chain: Emphasis on the risk of Salmonella in chicken and pork from traditional markets to household consumption

    Author : Rortana Chea; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Foodborne pathogens, such as Salmonella and Staphylococcus aureus, pose a high risk to human health globally. Using quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA), this thesis estimated the risk of salmonellosis to Cambodian consumers eating contaminated chicken and pork salad. READ MORE

  7. 20. Large data and machine learning in analysis, diagnostics, and clinical decision making: applications in the treatment of burn injury

    Author : Jian Fransén; Fredrik Huss; Johan Lundin; Yvette Andersson; Andrew Lindford; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Burn wound infection; Antibiotic susceptibility; Burn mortality; Machine learning; Burns; Burn assessment; Convolutional neural network; Artificial intelligence; Intensive care; ; Plastikkirurgi; Plastic Surgery; Surgery; Kirurgi; Machine learning; Maskininlärning;

    Abstract : Burn injury is a common trauma globally. Large burns require fluid resuscitation, infection control, and specialized intensive care. The size of the burn and infections caused by resistant microbes are correlated to mortality, and accurate mortality predictions are important. READ MORE
